Black Money Law: Govt raises over Rs 35K cr tax demand

New Delhi: The government has raised tax and penalty demand of over Rs35,105 crore and filed 163 prosecution complaints till March 31 under the foreign black money law, Parliament was informed on Tuesday. Minister of State (MoS) for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary said under the Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) and Imposition of Tax Act, 2015, the government has recovered Rs338 crore towards tax/penalty/interest between July 1, 2015 and March 31, 2025. 'Till March 31, 2025, 1021 assessments have been completed under the Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) and Imposition of Tax Act, 2015, raising tax and penalty demand of over Rs35,105 crore approximately and total 163 prosecutions complaints have been filed,' Chaudhary said in a written reply to Rajya Sabha. The tax demand gets crystallised conclusively when appeals, if any, before CIT(A), ITAT, High Court and Supreme Court are decided. Under the Black Money Act, 2015, it is mandatory for assesses to disclose all foreign assets and income in specified schedules while filing I-T returns. Any non-disclosure attracts a penalty. India receives information about foreign assets and income from over 100 foreign tax jurisdictions, Chaudhary added.

Hamilton police issue arrest warrant for Troy Mudford, say he should not be approached

Troy Mudford, 24, a convicted robber and assaulter, has a warrant out for his arrest. Photo / New Zealand Herald 'The 24-year-old is believed to be in the Hamilton area,' a police spokesman said. '[He] should not be approached,' he said. 'If you see Mudford, or you know where he is, please contact police on 111 and use the reference number 250613/4965.' Informants could also phone 105 or report it on the 105 website. Information could also be offered anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111. Supplied photographs of Mudford show him with distinctive Black Power-associated facial tattoos. Sentencing Mudford in 2022, Justice Jagose noted the eight previous convictions and that he had only been released from jail a month before the Rotokauri robbery. After an 'encounter' the previous day, Mudford arrived at a Rotokauri house with Shannon Jenifer Avery and Maxine Danielle McWaters before the victims, two men and two women, turned up in their car. They confronted them and Mudford punched one of the men in his jaw, before the trio stole their jewellery, handbags and cellphones, ordering them to reset the devices. The victims were then ordered to go inside the house, and some testified they were assaulted and forced to strip naked and hug during the ordeal. They were kept inside the house against their will until dawn. Mudford struck one victim in the back of the head with a hammer. At one point, Avery held a knife to a victim's waist in a vehicle as they met her mother to get money. A pre-sentence report said Mudford was 'motivated to move on' from his anti-social behaviour, which has led to him being estranged from his Cambridge family. While on remand in prison, he had taken steps towards positive goals, which were at this stage proving successful in reducing the number of alerts to the department. However, it was noted he did not have any support in the community for when he would be released. 'I note you saying you are working on being a better person and trying to make changes to better your life to avoid putting yourself in situations like that again,' the judge said. Police have been approached to provide detail on the incident that has led to the new warrant for Mudford's arrest.

Builder tied to house collapse that killed 3 slapped with NSA

AGRA: Days before his bail plea, the district administration along with police in Mathura on Thursday invoked the stringent National Security Act (NSA) against local builder Sunil Chen, main accused in a case involving an excavation that led to the collapse of five houses, including a multi-storey unit, in the city's congested Maya Tila area on June 15. Three people died in the incident. A case was subsequently registered against Sunil Chen and others under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Section 105 (culpable homicide). Chen was later arrested and sent to jail. His bail plea is scheduled to come up for hearing in the district judge's court later this month. SSP Shlok Kumar said that the court and jail authorities were officially informed about the decision to invoke NSA against the builder. Police sources added the "NSA was invoked to prevent any further threat to public safety". "Despite residents' strong objection, Sunil Chen, along with his aides, started unauthorised excavation and construction in the area that ill-fated morning. Five houses collapsed and nearly half-a-dozen more developed cracks. Totaram, 35; Yashoda, 6; and Kajal, 4; died after they were buried under the rubble. Some people were also injured...," district magistrate CP Singh added
